| Double Take is about the adventure of learning new
things in our study of the Bible. It is not so much a book of method as
a book of examples. But from beginning to end, its aim is to help
readers reflect on what opens up the message of Scripture for the
curious reader. And from beginning to end, to help readers discover
that new insights are a wonderful blessing: sometimes they bring new
truths to light that would otherwise remain hidden from us; sometimes
they solve a puzzle in a text that has genuinely bothered us; sometimes
they help us understand why our experiences do not match what we
thought a text was teaching. Copyright 2007 Kindred Productions | |

| What are the roots of human violence? Many theses seek to explain
societal rivalry, injustice, and scapegoating. Perhaps none is more
thorough or persuasive than Rene Girard's. Yet do his theories on
imitation, rivalry, violence, sacrifice, and religion find support in
Scripture? These scholarly essays engage this question at multiple
levels. Especially Girard's theories on sacrifice and imitation are
critically examined in these significant contributions to Girardian
scholarship which culminate in a response by Girard himself.
Addressed as well in Violence Renounced are kingship and servanthood,
the relation between the Testaments on sacrifice and atonement, and
such basic themes as the human primal nature, the shape of new creation
in Jewish and Christian reality, and feminist perspectives on Girardian
theory. Also seen in new light are standard beliefs and doctrines on
atonement, who/what killed Jesus, and how peace is to be rightly
achieved. Copyright 2000. | |
